October 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of our first Gillespie Approach Infant Training. This groundbreaking event occurred at a large Mennonite farmhouse in Lititz, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Six teachers (Joan Martin, Ruthie Sensenig, Christa Hunter, Pat Nicolas, Christine Holefelder and myself) taught six students with eight Mennonite babies and moms. There were no teacher salaries, and, instead of a training fee, I asked for donations. Everyone had a great day. I am still very grateful for everyone involved in that effort.
We have come a long way in the last 10 years. I am grateful for the contribution everyone has made in that time frame. For the record, I gave Joan $500 to pay a nice Mennonite family for the use of the room and the great vegetarian buffet. I received $300 in teaching donations for the day. It is good to know that you can change the world for $200.
